Biostimulants for Crops from Seed Germination to Plant Development
Biostimulants for crops from seed germination to plant development focuses on the effects and roles of natural biostimulants in every aspect of plant growth development to reduce the use of harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Biostimulants are a group of substances of natural origin that offer a potential to reduce the dependency on harmful chemical fertilizers causing environmental degradation. While there is extensive literature on biostimulants, there remains a gap in understanding how natural biostimulants work and their practical application. This book fills that gap, presenting the ways in which biostimulants enhance seed vigor and plant productivity by looking into their mode...
Growth Regulators and Biostimulants: Upcoming Opportunities
In the recent past, significant strides have been made in the domain of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and biostimulants. In the sustainable utilization of plant germplasm PGRs and biostimulants play a pivotal role. With a magnified growth rate and less risk of inducing clonal somaclonal variations, PGRs (such as auxins, gibberellins, isoprenoid and aromatic cytokinins, ethylene, and abscisic acid) serve as a boon to plant biologists especially those working with rare endangered and threatened species and medicinal and aromatic plant species. Furthermore, the combined effect of PGRs with LEDs (light-emitting diode) on various aspects of plant development is an area of research gaining attention. The use of biostimulants to promote plant growth, yield and stress tolerance has increasingly gained attention. However, their functional role in the growth and development of plants is not clearly understood.
Biostimulants for Improving Reproductive Growth and Crop Yield
Biostimulants for Improving Reproductive Growth and Crop Yield highlights their importance as a mechanism, specifically for this result. Intended to transform the latest scientific research into practical application, the book focuses on the effects of biostimulants on flower and fruit development and set, early flowering, pollen viability, germination, and other reproductive aspects. It covers a sustainable approach in utilization of these promising biostimulants in agriculture, horticulture, and floriculture for better productivity, and to feed a growing world population.Biostimulants are a group of substances of natural origin and/or microorganisms that offers the potential to reduce the dependency on harmful chemical fertilizers that cause environmental degradation. The application of biostimulants represents one of the most innovative and promising strategies to improve crop productivity. - Focuses on the biochemical, physiological, and molecular mode of action of biostimulants - Includes the effects of both organic and inorganic biostimulants - Details the role of biostimulants in sexual and asexual reproductive results
Biotechnology of Anti-diabetic Medicinal Plants
This book is a unique overview of insights on the genetic basis of anti-diabetic activity, chemistry, physiology, biotechnology, mode-of-action, as well as cellular mechanisms of anti-diabetic secondary metabolites from medicinal plants. The World Health Organization estimated that 80% of the populations of developing countries rely on traditional medicines, mostly plant drugs, for their primary health care needs. There is an increasing demand for medicinal plants having anti-diabetic potential in both developing and developed countries. The expanding trade in medicinal plants has serious implications on the survival of several plant species, with many under threat to become extinct. This bo...
Commercial Scale Tissue Culture for Horticulture and Plantation Crops
This edited book is focusing on the novel and innovative procedures in tissue culture for large scale production of plantation and horticulture crops. It is bringing out a comprehensive collection of information on commercial scale tissue culture with the objective of producing high quality, disease-free and uniform planting material. Developing low cost commercial tissue culture can be one of the best possible way to attain the goal of sustainable agriculture. Tissue culture provides a means for rapid clonal propagation of desired cultivars, and a mechanism for somatic hybridization and in vitro selection of novel genotypes. Application of plant tissue culture technology in horticulture and...
